In User-Manager, each user has their own user account generated by the User-Manager where they can see the plans they have active or if they have finished being able to activate another one, once the payment is generated.
To handle access time renewal in MikroTik User Manager in a scenario where users pay for limited access, such as at an airport, you can take several steps to ensure that access time is renewed appropriately once the user pays again. .
MikroTik User Manager is a user management and AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) system that allows you to control access and billing for your network users.
Here's how you can manage access time renewal:
1. Identify the User:
First, you need to identify the user who wants to renew their access time. This can be done using your username, MAC address, or any other unique identifier you have established in the system.
2. Modify the User Profile:
Once the user is identified, you can modify their profile in User Manager to reflect the renewal of access time. This involves two main steps:
- Update Access Plan: Change the user's access plan to the new paid plan. This may involve assigning a new profile that has an extended or modified consumption time according to the payment made.
- Reset Counters or Create a New Session: Depending on how your system is configured, you may need to reset the user's time and data counters or, alternatively, create a new session for them that begins with the new paid access period.
3. Extend Access Time:
For users who simply need an extension to their existing access time, you can increase the time limit directly in their current profile without needing to assign a new profile. This can be done by adjusting the timing parameters in your User Manager settings.
4. Renewal Automation:
To make the renewal process easier and improve the user experience, consider automating the renewal process as much as possible. This may include:
- Integration with Payment Systems: If possible, integrate User Manager with your payment system so that time renewals are processed automatically once payment is confirmed.
- Renewal Notifications: Set up push notifications to inform users when their access time is about to expire, including instructions on how they can renew their access.
5. Documentation and Support:
Provide clear and accessible documentation for users on how they can renew their access time, and make sure you have a support system available to help with any issues or questions that may arise during the renewal process.
By implementing these steps, you can efficiently manage access time renewal for users in a high-demand environment like an airport, ensuring a seamless user experience and maintaining control over access and billing on your MikroTik network.
